S2 EP: 4 Ell - Four Births, Nurse/Midwife, Hospital Birth (X1), Homebirth (X3), Cystic Fibrosis, Ruptured Bowel, NICU, PND, Hospital Transfer, TRIKAFTA.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Ell, who shares her remarkable journey through four unique birth stories. As a midwifery student, Ell's exposure to homebirth during a placement sparked a profound realisation – she wanted to bring her children into the world in the comfort of her own home. However, her first pregnancy took an unexpected turn when a scan revealed issues with her son's bowel, leading to Ell and her partner testing positive as carriers of Cystic Fibrosis (CF). As a result, complications arose, preventing Ell from having a homebirth for her first child. Undeterred, Ell went on to successfully birth her next three babies at home, embracing the empowering experience of homebirth.
